March Shopping Madness! Country Cutie

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 03:00:22 PDT

I'm a city gal but that won't stop me from looking like a country cutie. To fake this Midwest vibe, dig around for soft, floral prints and muted colors. Smaller florals - like VS model Behati Prinsloo's Victoria's Secret Pink corset floral dress - deliver the best country girl illusion. If dresses aren't your thing, pair a smocked top with some cut-off jean shorts for a more casual look.

Here's the most important part to getting this right: take another glance at the South African beauty. Did you notice how she paired her dress with kickass Alex Wang heels? That's how you do it. Contrast all of that country softness with a tough piece to give it a modern touch.

Celebrity Style: Rihanna

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 12:00:08 PST

Check out Rihanna looking slick as ever as she leaves a London club. The singer continued her experimental streak in black leather fingerless gloves, a high-neck plaid coat, and a gray mini skirt. The black pointy shoes pump up her sex appeal and the rhinestone jewels provide feminine sparkle. Leave it to this funky chick to turn plaid into the polar opposite of preppy.

The Look For Less: Lucy Liu

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 17:07:19 PST

Cashmere Mafia leading lady Lucy Liu looked beyond amazing in a hot pink Alexander McQueen silk dress at the The Late Show. I love her daring opera-length leather gloves and circle earrings. You think perhaps Mafia costumer designer Patricia Field helped her out? Whether Pat worked her magic or Lucy did her own styling, here's a look (for less) worth imitating.

Count Your Roses to Decode Your Valentine's Hidden Message

Colleen Barrett — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 09:38:28 PST

As old superstitions fade and Emily Post-like etiquette evolves, you're probably not counting the number of roses or orchids or hydrangeas you received today (or, like most people, didn't). But the number of roses a man once gave a woman held hidden meanings, so check out what your Valentine either intentionally or, more likely, unintentionally told you today.

One rose: Love at first sight, or years later "you are still the one."
Two roses: Mutual love and affection . . . so you may owe him two roses!
Three roses: The traditional three-month anniversary gift also simply means "I love you."
Six roses: Infatuation, or "I want to be yours."
Nine roses: A big jump up from six, nine roses symbolize eternal love or "I want to be with you forever."
10 roses: A perfect 10 means "You are perfection."
12 roses: A dozen is like picking the best heart from a Sweetheart candy box, it means "Be Mine."
13 roses: Thirteen may be a baker's dozen, but not so in love. Its meaning is actually disputed: Teleflora says it means you'll be friends forever, but several other sources, like Love Letter Box, say it means you have a secret admirer.
15 roses: Does he have a reason to apologize? Because 15 roses means "I'm sorry." If not, take it as credit for future remorse.
20 roses: The red starts to get excessive around 20, and supposedly that means "Believe me, I am sincere toward you." Usually, sincerity does not need to be proved with quantity, but that's just me!

People send more than 20. See what they mean below.

Jamie Lynn Spears Shares Lessons on Birth Control and Teen Pregnancy

Annie Scudder — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:50:37 PST

“I believe in safety and birth control as prevention," Jamie Lynn Spears tells Glamour this month. "But like many young girls . . . I was really scared to go to the doctor." Britney's little sister had to grow up fast, after she became pregnant at 16, and after taking some time away from the spotlight, she gave an interview with Glamour to mark her 21st birthday.

In the interview, Jamie Lynn shares the reality of becoming pregnant at an age most girls are thinking about prom, cheerleading, or college. She admits, "I had been on a Nickelodeon show, Zoey 101, and after we wrapped shooting, I just wanted to go home to Louisiana and finish high school, be a cheerleader, all that." But that wouldn't happen. "Then I found out I was pregnant [by then-boyfriend Casey Aldridge]. I was 16. I’d had one boyfriend."

Jamie Lynn also says she resented the judgment, which she believes was intensified by her fame. "I was judged for something that probably most everyone does. I was young. I was in love. I was like every other teenager, except I had this last name. And I made a decision that is forever my decision." But fear of judgement also led to the accidental pregnancy. Jamie Lynn explained, "I was on a Nickelodeon show, and it [felt] especially embarrassing to ask someone to put me on birth control. I didn’t want to ask my doctor, because she had a little girl."

Jamie Lynn's honesty reveals that many sexually active teens need the adults in their lives, be it parents, doctors, or sex ed teachers, to be more proactive about getting them access to birth control. Do you think Jamie Lynn's high-profile cautionary tale could make a difference? And see more from inside the March issue at Glamour.
